Wow! 18 months already!

So my little boy will be 18 months old on Sunday! I cannot believe that is has been a year and a half since he came into our lives. He had a rough start, but has overcame everything. We are still dealing with reflux, but have come to the conclusion that he is basically going to have it for life since it is on both sides of his family. So what we do for that is watch his diet, a lot of sugar irritates it and makes it worse, and medicine.

I have no idea what life would be like without him, other then the kids both being very independent and wanting their own way and then clashing and fighting at some point during the day, they love each other and their are the small moments where they love on each other and are nice to each other.

I sat down yesterday and thought about what words he is actually able to say. The pronunciation is not perfect but he is only 18 months. He can say roughly 30 words, which has been since mid-August, before that he really did not say anything. He uses the potty seat at least once a day (crossing fingers he is the easy one to train), loves to take a bath and shower and loves having the water poured over his head as he looks up. He helps get dressed and cleaning up around the apartment. Another huge accomplishment that I have personally accomplished is that he is still rear-facing. He is getting a little long, but he props his feet on the seat or crosses them and happy and content as can be.

We have finally decided and agreed on getting Keylan's haircut. I have been wanting to get it cut for a few months, but Jeremy was getting ready to deploy and I had agreed to wait till he got back. But now that he was delayed, and there is always the chance that he won't go, we agreed to get it cut. I will probably cry, but no more baby mullet. Now, we have 6 months till he turns two and already thinking about having birthday party. I might have a small "party" here in El Paso, but since we will be home a month after he turns two I am thinking of having a big party for him. 

But now I need to go clean of the path of the hurricane. Lol
